Neurological Complications of HIV and AIDS

HIV infection affects the nervous system in many ways. The virus seems to penetrate the nervous system early in the course of the disease, but rarely produces clinical manifestations. In most patients, it is at the stage of profound immuno-depression that disabling and often life-threatening neurological complications develop. This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to management of the neurological problems associated with HIV infection and AIDS.
